Moving on up!

This past week has been a blast! Seth was able to preach at his home church this past Sunday, this time for the youth group service. I've been working with an 8th grade girls small group, so we are really getting to know a lot of cool kids.

We were able to share a lot about Japan with people in Kansas and in Joplin, MO. We have been meeting with a ton of people to share about the work in Japan this past week. One of the pieces of news we have been sharing is that our team in Japan is planning to launch the first church on January 10th, which is so exciting!

The big news on our support raising:

We are at 85%!!!! Support has really been coming in. We are blown away! In ten days, God provided 70% of our support. It's amazing that this happened, and God did it all. We can't take any credit for making it happen. He is amazing, and he is proving himself faithful time and time again. Praise God!

Because we are getting so close to 100% our departure will very likely be the first week of January. More on that later! However, we still have a lot of need for our one-time costs, because we are only at 15% of that. These one-time expenses are things like: plane tickets, tuition for language school, furnishing our home, etc.
